The Sioux Indians of Dakota, arc ex

not put in an appearance, and they arc
anticipating his work by sharpening
thein tomahawks and going to work.
Terror is reigning among the whites
living adjacent to the reservations, and
they arc flocking to the towns to se

were counteracting the effects of this
Messiah by the introduction of a poli

the nape of the neck and everlastingly
flay the earth with him. The senti
mental nonsense that puts weapons in
stead of agricultural implements into
the hands of these butchercrs, under
the plea that they arc the wards of the
nation, is advanced by a parcel of
dreamers who have nsver been far
enough west to have their dreams of
the noble red man dispelled. They
have mixed up the Indian with a lot of
poetical notions, instead of taking a
practical view of him, which will dis
close the laziest, filthiest specimen of
humanity extant.
The outcome of the recent O'Shea
divorce trial in England, wherein Char
les Stewart Parnell was a co-respondent,
the charge being adultery with the
plaintiff's wife, is a matter of general
surprise. It was supposed that the
case was merely a fresh attack of the
Snglish government on the Irish lead
er, and that O'Shea was the tool in the
hands of Parnells enemies. But the
case when brought to issue, showed
that O'Shea had just grounds for his
action, and that Parnell was guilty as
charged. Speculation since the trial
lias been rife regarding whethor or not
Parnell would be deposed from the
leadership of the Irish party. From
the latest advices it seems that such
will not he the outcome, as the Nation
alists are disposed to retain Mr.
Parae!! as their leader. Many assert
that the Irish movement cannot go for
ward without Mr. Parnell' s guiding
hand, and as to his private character,
the precedents of the Duke of Wel
lington, Admiral Nelson, and other
great leaders, whose private characters
were anything but examples of moral
ity, and yet their public lives remain
ed unchanged. Universal regret will
greet the discovery of Mr. Parnell's
moral downfall, and it will in a meas
ure detract from the admiration that
has followed his brilliant public career
as the champion of Ireland's cause.
No defence against the charges was
attempted and hence, if thtre be any
extenuating circumstances, they will
not be known to the public. It is but
charitable to remember that man is but
mortal and the pitfalls are many.
Charles Stewart Parnell may not be in
his private life, all that he should be,
but lovers of liberty, the down-trodden
and helpless, will not forget that he
has rendered suffering Ireland a ser
vice that will be remembered lrng alter
the frailties of his private life have
passed into oblivion.
There is a general protest going up
over the land against American hotels
printing the bill of fare in French.
This is a reform movement of sufficient
importance to merit the organization
of a society. Where is the common
every day mortal who has not sat down
in a very ordinary chop house and seen
a Freuch bill of fare, containing names
of appalling length and bewildering
pronunciation? and after a man has
stumbled over and mumbled to a wait
er one of these astounding names of
the frog-eating Frenchmen, who shall
blame him if he looks a littlo abashed
and bewildered when the waiter sets
before him, say a baked potato baked
in exactly the same manner as his
grandmother baked it fifty years ago.
Or mabe the waiter who is in sympa
thy with the French bill of fare, with
a flourish sets before him a steak, and
the steak has lost nothing of iU cohes
iveness, because it has assumed the
airs of a foreign name. And so it is
with the other dishes; all name and no
change. Desert is where the French
flourishes the most prolific. Here the
diner becomes so dazed he is in doubt
whether he is France or still with Un
cle Sam. Pic, pudding, all wrapped
up in French. When the diner has
dislocated his jaw in a combined attack
upon the beefsteak and French, the
most ordinary kinds of pic and pudding
put in an appearance, and a man con
cludes that he is still in America,
though dining in French.
AVOID THE MISTAKE.
Whether or not the talk indulged in
by the republican leaders that enough
alliance men will vote with their party
to elect Ingalls is true, the mere sug
gestion of such a possibility will arouse
indignation within the rank and file.
There is not a single reason, uor has
the shadsw of one been advanced, why
an alliance man should vote for John
J. Ingalls for senator.
The alliance is today as much a po
litical party, as either of its rivals. It
had its origin in the discontent engen
dered by the misrule of the republican
party, and drew political lines as close
ly as cither of the old organizations, in
the recent campaign. It had, as all
parties must have, a desired end in view
the election of as many of its candi
dates as possible so that its doctrines
might be merged into laws.
To deliberately throw away the prize
now within its grasp the election of
an alliance senator is to declare its
doctrines wrong, its organization use
less, and acknowledg its cowardice be
fore the people. Nor is this all.
John J. Ingalls is the embodiment
of all that is most radical and offensive
in the republican party. He is if any
thing, a partisan, putting party above
country, honor, principle and every
other consideration. His fame is build
cd on vituperative abuse of the oppo
sition, which, in the words of his ad
mirers is called ''advertising Kansas."
It is true Mr. Ingalls fills the galler
ies of the capital at Washington on
the das which he speaks, but his au
diences have yet to hear a single word
spoken in behalf of the classes chiefly
composing the farmers alliance. They
have on the other hand been entertain
ed with oratorical talent, subverted to
the unprofitable uses of abusing the
southern people. The alliance claims
to represent the present. Its leaders
boast that war issues have no place in
its platform. Certainly, consistency
if no other consideration sholud cause
them to put forth a candidate, to re
place the present bellicose representa
tive, who has so often put the south
ern confederacy to flight in the senate
chamber. Mr. Ingall's organ, the To
peka capital, no later than last week
charged the alliance with being an off
shoot and the instrument of the south
ern confederacy to capture this state.
It has the south in the saddle and go
ing at a gallop across the plains of Kan
sas. It makes a last desperate appeal
to rouse the war spirit in the north in
behalf of Ingalls. The alliance has a
golden opportunity to pluck rich fruits
of its victory, and its failure to do so
will cause disaffection if not disorgan
ization. A Reliable Cough Syrup.

YELYLOW8TONE NATIONAL
PARK.
The follow in? interesting letter was received
sometime ago, but was not published for want of
spice. It is from the oen of Jesse Dratlej, a Ford
county boy.
The writer has just made a two
weeks trip to the Yellowstone Nation
al Park, and thinking a description of
the many interesting things to be seen
there, might be of interest to the read
ers of The Times, short accounts of
some of the objects seen, are here giv
en. I joined a company of four. We
had a wagon to haul our provisions and
bedding, and also horses to ride, as we
could not drive to every point of inter
est. Where roads were not made they
were reached only by trails, and we in
tended seeing everything worth looking
at Wc entered the park about twen
ty yards from Gardiner City, Mont,
and followed up the Gardiner river six
miles to the Mammoth Hot Springs
composed of terraces, one above anoth
er, built up of water formations to great
heights, the colors being from a bright
red to a snow white. The water runs
quietly over these terraces, year by year
adding one-twentieth of an inch each
year. By laying wood, leather or met
al in the waacr, the surface will in a
short time, become coated. The Dev
il's Kitchen, a cave forty-eight feet
deep, entered by ladder, then Liberty
Cap, an extinct geyseer cone, standing
about fifty feet high and the Bath Pool
which wc tested and found excellent
together with several other interesting
objscts were found here.
After leaving the Mammoth Springs
about three miles on our way to Mor
ris, we pass by the Golden Gate, a sol
id wall of rock standing more than per
pindicular over the passors-by head, to
the height of 300 feet, and the canon
below about 200 feet, the rocks being
covered with a yellow moss. Passing
out at the west end of the gate, the
Rustic Falls arc seen, dropping sixty
feet over a rocky wall and disappearing
under the rocks below. The roads
leads through a narrow valley, from
where, ten miles distant may be seen
a range of mountains covered with
snow. About twelve miles from Mam
moth Springs Obsidian Cliff is passed;
it is a mountain of deep black but clear
and beautiful colored glass. It takes
its namo from Obsidius who first found
the glass in Ethiopia. The wagon
road by it was built in a peculiar way.
It was done when blasting powder was
little if any used. They built fires ov
er the glass, and when hot, poured wa
ter over it, and it would fly in many
pieces. Passing on through forests of
stately pine, we pause by the roadside
and witness the boiling of clear water,
splashing and steaming continually,
which we thought quite a wonder; but
only a few miles more, and we were in
the Norris Geyser Basin, which has sev
eral geysers, spouting to the height of
25 to 30 feet and the Mammoth which
throws water to the height of 100 feet
On getting up in the morning and look
ing over to the hill towards the geysers
it seems as if a large manufacturing
city was there, from the clouds of steam
arising. From here tourists can go two
ways one by the geyser basins or by
the Yellowstone Falls, the last being
preferable, as the steep mountain be
tween the lake and lower basin is gone
down, instead of up, by the latter way.
Twelve miles from Norris, we beheld
the granduer of the Yellowstone Falls
and Grand Canyon. The upper falls
arc 150 feet, while the lower falls are
360 feet. Ahorse ran in the river
above the falls and the current carried
him over both; he was never seen after
passing the last falls. The river is
quite wide above the cataracts, but it
narrows down until it looks like a sil
ver cord below the falls. The Grand
Canon begins at Lower Falls and is
about 10 miles in length, its huge walls
from 1,200 to 1,500 feet in height
composed of all the various colors the
mind can conceive, and at each hour of
the day, the visitor can sef new sights
and yet remain in the same place. An
eagle's nest on a high pinnacle of rock
was to be seen, and at the time of our
visit, we could see the younger eagles
and the old bird, soaring around ard
around above. We could not spend all
our time viewing the canon, so we
started on towards the lake, passing
Sulphut Mountain, to named on ac
count of sulphur in an almost pure
state is found here. We passed Jupi
ter's bath and then mud geysers, throw
ing mud about the consistency of mush
and a person seems to want to stay
longer until they understand it better.
Passing on np the Yellowstone River
about seven miles, we beheld Yellow
stone Lake, the largest body of fresh
water in America at such a high alti
tude. Its extreme dimensions arc
15x35 miles, average 12x20 miles. It
was sounded in one place during the
past summer, and found to be about
890 feet deep. Fish abound in great
numbers, and many geese, ducks and
pelicans float on its surface. We had
a very pleasant boat ride while there,
a steamboat 17x80 feet is being built
to traverse the lake.
From the lake we passed back by
mud geysers, and thence over Mary's
Mt to the Lower Geyser Basin. We
observed some fine geyser action, and
a buffalo skeleton is to be seen in one
of the more quiet geysers, bnt it is fast
crumbling away. A drove of buffalo
is kept in the canon 8 miles back.
The fire hole at this place is regarded
as quite a wonder.

Our goods are sold on their own merits, and not only a few articles advertised to draw custom, but we claim to sell
every article from 15 to 25 per cent, cheaper than can be bought anywhere else If we would sell goods that was rotten or
shoddy, we Avould not agree to take back the goods bought of us not giving perfect satisfaction. But this we will do at any
time, refund the money on any goods bought of us after examination at home and not giving entire satisfaction. We believe
it is all wrong, where the man who always pays cash has to pay the same prices as the man who never pays, or buys on long
time. Those who pay cash, we would say, save from 15 to 25 cents on ever- dollar they invest. You have only to try us
and you will be convinced that this is absolutely true, and to show you the difference, we give you a statement where you
can see that $3.60 buys as much at THE FAIR as S6.71 buys at other places.

Dodge City in business, announces a change of business. I
have secured the
Agency for Charles Broadway Ronss
for this city, formerly held by Mr. Wilson of the Racket
Store, who removed to Lexington, Mo., and
OPEN TO-DAY
a large assortment of goods. My connection with this house
enables me to quote lower prices than others who buy on long
time and ask big prices in these days of panic and hard times.
Not by favor, but by merit alone will I maintain and increase
the reputation of The Fair, as a place where the best goods
can be bought for the least money of any place in the west.
I will mark my Millinery Stock at prices to compare with my
new goods. Upon my counters willl be thrown day after day
new arrivals at panic prices. From houses that collapsed
from such sources as these, my goods will come. I must, at
these prices, do a strictly cash business. So please bear this
in mind, and always have your pocketbook along, with mon
ey in it, and prove that my prices are 20 per cent, less than
current prices in New York City. I mean business. New,
advancing ideas crowd out the old pluck instead of luck;
cash instead of credit; brains in the place of cheek. We will
offer such unanswerable arguments as no house can match ;
Ieadersand specialties at quotations no other house can offer.
Stern and stubborn facts, which will level your head, as the
subjects of actual bargains. I quote only a few prices, as val
ues change every sale. But call and see for yourselves the
truth cf my statement.
